V6 to V8 swap
ok... i just did a V6 to V8 swap today...took me about 4 hours ish. it's an azure blue 1998 GT with a 5 speed. i traded my white mustang. :)
i will NEVER go back to 6 cylinders. thinking about naming her the "blue bomber" |
Pics? And did you do a 2v or 4v swap?
|
i will leave the car as is...cause i have other financial thingies to worry about. the car is good enough as it is right now. i will worry about a 4 valve swap later. i will also post pictures tomorrow when the sun is shining. it has a Cervini ram air hood that is functional.
|
I don't think I've ever actually seen an sn95 with either a functional or non-functional shaker...I'm interested.
|
it's not a shaker, it's a ram air hood. it has air ducts in the hood that go straight to the intake, ramming the air down the Plenum. :)
the scoops are nice and big, looks great. |
Oh...I don't know why I was thinking shaker.
|
I once did a v6 to v8 swap but it took me even less time........... Ask me how lol.
|
wait i thought u bought that blue v8...

wow.... |
well that's what i thought at first too. because he already had a white 98 v6 didn't he?. so if he did a swap and it took him 4 hours, why is it a blue 98 gt?( a very nice looking one)
|
He traded the white sixer in. It says it in his first post. And it probably took him 4 hours to get through the papers and whatnot. When I bought my car it took a little over 4 hours as well.
|
well yeah that's what i got out of it, u got to be on a ton of speed to do and engine swap swap in 4 hours right
|
Not really. You've just got to have the people and tools in place. I forget what the record is, but if I remember correctly it's something like an hour and a half.

you guys are a trip. XD i traded the white 98 in for the blue GT. worthy trade. :) |
great work. Now swap that 4.6 for a 5.4 and experience the tq. it's the same difference in feel as the v6-v8 swap.
|
that will have to wait for a while, even if i consider it. i barely have enough spare money to get a Magnapack catback exhaust.
|
I know... I'm just tormenting you. glad to see someone stepping into a major mod again. good work. Been to a dyno yet?
|
not yet, been thinking about it though. i have no idea where a Dyno is in Ohio though.
|
ur probaly making about 210rwhp
